"A wave of cities led by San Francisco and Oakland filed suit against Exxon and other major polluters last year, alleging that the companies had purposefully misled the public about the effects of climate change in order to keep profits high.

Exxon knew about climate change decades ago. They have lied to their customers and the public for decades. They greenwash everything they do.

"Authorities said a tank containing crude oil or asphalt exploded at the Husky Energy oil refinery in Superior, a city of about 27,000 that borders Minnesota and the westernmost tip of Lake Superior. That prompted them to order the evacuation of a five-kilometre radius around the refinery, as well as a 16-kilometre corridor south of it where the smoke was heading.
It was unclear how many people were being evacuated. The refinery is in an industrial area, but there's a residential neighborhood within two kilometres to the northeast. The corridor downwind to the south of the refinery is sparsely populated."#EndofOil
